Chapter 494 “Then I‘ll be leaving. Goodbye, dad!” Arianna kissed her father‘s cheek and pulled Brittany
out of the house. Brittany was in shock. She felt uncomfortable when she saw what had happened. ‘Is
there something wrong with Arianna? Was the whole thing just an act? I feel like I‘m on a drama set!
Was what they said according to a script? Did everyone forget about the argument after the scene
ended?
‘Otherwise, how can Arianna be so calm and stay in this so called harmonious family with her “loving”
father? How could she act like a spoiled child to him?‘
The duo sat in the car as Brittany silently started it and drove away with Arianna in the passenger seat.
The duo stayed quiet for a long while. Brittany had yet to figure out what had happened. Nothing made
sense to her.
Arianna opened her purse and took out a small bag of snacks. She tore it open with her delicate
fingernails, took out a small piece of dried apricot, and put it toward Brittany‘s mouth. Brittany glanced
down and shook her head. Arianna did not insist and stuffed it into her own mouth instead.
“Are you still thinking about why I‘m still so close to my father after hearing what he said? Why should I
buy clothes for — him? Do you think I should cry and make a fuss, then quarrel with him and try to fight
for my rights?” She calmly said as if she were an outsider telling someone else‘s story. Brittany kept
quiet.
“That‘s because I knew from a very early age that crying can‘t
solve anything.” Arianna chewed slowly, her eyes calmly staring ahead. “If I cry or try to quarrel, my
dad will still be the same. Do you think I can change his mind and have him see what I‘m worth? Of
course not! “Doing that will only make him hate me. He‘ll think I‘m ignorant and only want to fight with
my so–called half brother.”
“My father will say I should be more obedient and sensible. He thinks I am a little girl and must do what
a little girl should. I will do what he wants and what he likes to see. At least I am in his heart, not
someone who can inherit the family business. I should be the daughter that makes him feel
comfortable.”
The more she talked, the harder she chewed on that piece of apricot. Arianna was biting very
ferociously. Brittany turned her head and glanced at her, feeling that her entire chin was
straining
“Arianna...”
“I‘m fine. You don‘t need to comfort me. You see, every family has a harrowing story to tell. It‘s no big
deal.” Arianna shrugged disapprovingly. “Remember what I asked you earlier? Do you want Alex
physically or to love you back? I‘ve been there before. My mom is the one who physically has my dad.
That other woman has my dad‘s heart.”
Brittany did not expect Arianna to throw the ball back at her but faintly felt that what Arianna said was
reasonable. Brittany concentrated on driving while her ears perked up as Arianna spoke. Arianna
looked out the window, and her elbow was on the window.
Arianna murmured, comforting herself, “My father married
my mother without really loving her, but so what? Men are always fond of the new and dislike the old.
The more you care about him, the more he doesn‘t take you seriously. The more you ignore him, The
more interested he is in you.
“Don‘t you think it‘s easy to get a man? Back then, that woman used drugs to seduce my father, and
they ultimately had a baby together. If my mother weren‘t pregnant with me simultaneously, maybe
things would be different.”
After a pause, she turned her head to look at Brittany, “But my mother was lucky too. If that woman‘s
family is rich enough, maybe I would be the brat instead.”
